subvert the late Tang Dynasty

Ge Congzhou first fought with Xu Cong for a hundred moves, and then fought with Zhu Wen for more than two hundred moves. Rao Ge Congzhou was extremely brave, and now he was a little tired.However, Zhu Wen was still as light as a swallow, and he was still erratic, as if he could do a job with ease.

Ge Congzhou was anxious, and brandished a single knife like a wheel, and approached Zhu Wen step by step.

In this way, if Zhu Wen does not collide with Ge Congzhou's weapon, he can only retreat step by step.Zhu Wen smiled faintly as the long sword trembled continuously, and there was a chaotic sound of "ding ding ding". When the swords met for the first time, he remembered the sound of three metal and iron clashing.

It turned out that Zhu Wen actually used his long sword to hit three points in a row on the weakest point of Ge Congzhou's single sword in an instant.These three strokes by Zhu Wen injected internal force, and they hit Ge Congzhou's weakest point, and Ge Congzhou was not good at internal force, which made Ge Congzhou's right arm slightly numb from the shock.

Ge Congzhou saw that the defeat was already decided, so he simply slashed twice to force Zhu Wen back two steps before he was defeated, jumped out of the battle circle and said: "General Zhu's swordsmanship is profound, Ge Congzhou Gan bowed down, but Ge's family There is still an elderly mother who needs to be served, and I cannot join you in attacking cities and looting land, please forgive me, General Zhu!"

Zhu Wen put his sword back into its sheath, and said with a smile: "We have fought for more than two hundred moves, and the outcome is still undecided. Brother Ge, please go ahead!"

Zhu Zhen thought in her heart: "How can I just let him go like this?" She hurriedly said: "Third brother, this..."

Zhu Wen waved his hand to prevent Zhu Zhen from continuing, and said, "Brother Ge, please go ahead."

Ge Congzhou seemed unable to believe his ears, and said vigilantly, "Are you really willing to let me go?"

Zhu Wen smiled and said, "Could it be fake?"

Ge Congzhou took a deep look at Zhu Wen, and sighed: "Thank you Ge, I'm leaving now!"

After Zhu Wen watched Ge Congzhou's back go away, he quickly rubbed his numb wrist, and sighed: "This Ge Congzhou is really not easy. He almost knocked my long sword into the air with just his arm strength. It's amazing!" It's really great."

Zhu Zhen and Hu Zhen looked at each other, they had the same thoughts, and they said in unison: "Then why did the third brother let him go like this? Letting the tiger go back to the mountain will cause endless troubles..."

Zhu Wen smiled and said: "It's okay, sooner or later this Ge Congzhou will return to my tent. This person will not promise his allegiance to someone easily, but once he makes a promise, he will definitely not have the slightest second heart. "

Zhu Zhen had some disbelief in her heart, but she didn't say it out.Turning around, he patted Xu Cong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You are not bad, why don't you tell me that you have a unique skill? If you say it, I can arrange an official position for you, how can you be such a powerful master?" To be an ordinary soldier in the third brother's bodyguard?"

Xu Cong said: "I also want to be a general, but I don't want people to promote me because of my martial arts. I just want to rise step by step with my own efforts."

Zhu Wen secretly praised in his heart, he has ambition!Zan said: "I just like a young man like you, hehe, it can be said that you saved my life today, and the credit is not small, so I will be promoted first, manage a team of ten, and then follow me Bar."

Xu Cong knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, General Zhu!"

Zhu Wen quickly lifted his hands up and said: "As long as you are in our army, you are your own brother, and you don't need so much etiquette. From now on, we will have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. When there are no outsiders, we will be brothers. You and Zhu Wen Jane and the others call me Third Brother."

Xu Cong panicked and said, "How can this be done? You've broken the villain."

Zhu Wen said solemnly: "Brothers with the same shoulders, there is no distinction between high and low? Your name sounds a bit not loud enough, I want to change your name, would you like it?"

Xu Cong said: "I would like to follow the general's orders."

Zhu Wen pondered for a while, but couldn't think of a better name.

Zhu Zhen next to him smiled and said: "Brother Xu has a handsome face and a three-pointed manliness, and just now he saved his life because he was holding a jade pendant in his arms. I think it's better to call him Huaiyu."

Zhu Wen said silently in his heart, "Xu Huaiyu, Xu Huaiyu..." Why does this name feel so familiar?Suddenly, I remembered Xu Huaiyu's name in the biography of Liang Chen in "New History of the Five Dynasties".According to historical records, Xu Huaiyu followed Zhu Wen on the battlefield for 30 years. He went forward bravely in every battle and never flinched.

In the late Tang and Five Dynasties, Xu Huaiyu was No. 1 in terms of the word "courage" alone.

Zhu Wen said: "Good name, from now on you should be called Xu Huaiyu."

Xu Cong, who changed his name to Xu Huaiyu, said, "Thank you General Zhu for giving me the name."

"There is nothing to give or not to give, it's all my brothers, where are there so many courtesies? Let's go, I will cook by myself today, and reward Brother Xu!" Zhu Wen said heartily.

Zhu Zhen on the side cheered, and said loudly: "Finally, I can eat the food cooked by my third brother again, so excited!"

Even Hu Zhen unconsciously licked the drool on Tian's lips, and swallowed.

Xu Huaiyu pulled Zhu Zhen's sleeve and whispered, "Is General Zhu's cooking delicious?"

Zhu Zhen curled her lips, and replied with a look of disdain: "Of course it's delicious, otherwise why would I let my third brother cook the food every day? If it's not delicious, don't you just ask for guilt?"

Xu Huaiyu made a suddenly realized expression, waiting with some anticipation for the meal cooked by Zhu Wen himself.

……

First of all, Ge Cong Zhou returned home unhappy, visited his mother, and reported what happened today, saying: "Mother said what should I do with the child? Should I just live the rest of my life in such a mediocre manner, or should I just go to Huangchao?" In order to mix up one's background."

Mother Ge said: "Although your Ge family has been Tang officials for generations, but now treacherous officials are in power, eunuchs are in power, all towns support themselves, the court's discipline is corrupt, and the people are in dire straits, so that heroes are useless. Alas, a good man has ambitions everywhere, Don't worry about my mother, my son, now there are more than [-] acres of land at home, enough for my old bones to live on, so you can go at ease..."

Although Ge's mother has been a widow for many years, she was also the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of War. She also saw the world when she was young. How could she be like those foolish women?

Ge Congzhou looked at his elderly mother, feeling emotional in his heart, tears blurred his eyes.He secretly wiped away the tears from his eyes, turned around suddenly, and hardened his heart: "In the future, the child will make some progress, and he will definitely come back to welcome his mother. Please forgive the child for being unfilial. Mother, take care, and the child will leave."

Having said that, Ge Congzhou strode forward without turning back once. It's not that he didn't want to look back, but he didn't dare to look back.He didn't want his mother to see the tears on his face, and he couldn't bear to see the muddy tears in his mother's eyes...

When Ge Congzhou walked two streets, he still couldn't control his emotions, his lips trembled and trembled, hot tears of heroes ran across his cheeks and the corners of his mouth, the taste was salty and astringent...

He wiped away his tears violently, raised his head, and strode towards the rebel camp.
